Manchester trio Marconi Union worked with sound therapists to create the soothing tune, which also slows breathing and reduces brain activity.

Lyz Cooper, founder of the British Academy of Sound Therapy, says that the song’s rhythm begins at 60 beats per minute and then gradually falls to 50 by the end. She told The Telegraph that the song’s lack of melodic repetition quiets the brain from trying to predict a musical pattern.

Scientists (and perhaps I mean that loosely) recommend that you avoid listening to this song while driving…so, if you’re driving, don’t listen to the song below.

Of course, if you’re driving and reading blogs at the same time, that’s clearly worse.

Of course, music is subjective and it’s perfectly possible that slow ambient may increase anxiety for some people. I know it sounds silly, but it’s true. If you’ve ever had a panic attack on a massage table or at a spa, then you might negatively associate slow & droning music with your experience. (If that’s the case for you personally, what kind of music relaxes you?)

Marconi Union man! I've been listening to the track since first hearing this news at the end of last year. I rarely even consider posting such things here...
